And you thought your circuit breaker couldn't handle the demand of the holidays.

Lucky for Paul Tudor Jones II, the reclusive hedge fund manager and philanthropist has no such worries.

The 110th richest person in the world, whose net worth is estimated at $3 billion by Forbes.com, is Jonesing to flip the switch on his latest holiday lights and musical spectacular at his sprawling Belle Haven compound.

A major tourist attraction in the notoriously hush-hush neighborhood, which has its own security force, the lights show is tentatively scheduled to begin Friday at sundown and run through Dec. 22.

Workers could be seen Tuesday night draping lights in the 40-foot-tall trees on Jones' expansive property, as well as using a cherry picker to erect a lighted archway.

The display is expected to rival those of past years, when gaffers rigged the property with 36,000 ornamental lights and synchronized the different sequences of the show to music that onlookers could listen to on FM radio in their cars.

A message seeking comment from Jones, who reportedly shells out several hundred thousand dollars to put the display on each year, was left Wednesday with a spokeswoman at Tudor Investment Corp. in Greenwich.

In past years, the show's centerpiece featured an archway of lights over the driveway with elves passing Christmas presents to each other and a 16-foot-in-diameter lighted replica of planet Earth gracing the home's facade.

A message seeking comment from Eclectic Precision, the Brooklyn, N.Y., company hired by Jones to do the display in previous years was left Wednesday for one of the firm's owners. The company has done other large-scale projects for Toys"R"Us and crayon-maker Crayola.

Those familiar with the tight-lipped hedge fund manager described the holiday spectacle -- a tradition that is reported to have started in 2000 and has been replicated for Halloween and Thanksgiving and culminated the first year with a private Christmas party headlined by the Rockettes -- as typical of Jones' goodwill toward the community and children.

"It's a great example of community spirit," Selectman David Theis said. "If the neighbors are on board with it, I am too."

But this year's Halloween display was canceled, according to a memo from the Belle Haven Land Co. to residents of the ultra-private enclave. The homeowners' association clamped down on access to the neighborhood for security reasons.

A message seeking comment was left Wednesday for Frank Creamer, a retired Greenwich police officer who is manager of the Belle Haven Land Co. and in charge of security.

Police Capt. Timothy Berry confirmed that Jones has hired several off-duty police officers to help provide crowd control and to direct traffic.

"It's a lot of people to move through," Berry said. "We don't get complaints from the neighbors down there. This usually works pretty well, and the neighborhood is pretty happy with it."

Marzullo said he is looking forward to seeing the lights show, which lasts for several minutes.
